Your two papers are very interesting.

The questions that you ask are very difficult.

I like your approach, both the extension of Keizer's work and the use of effective parameters. It is interesting that Keizer abstracted his ideas from macroscopic thermodynamics and that use of your extension seems to work for mesoscopic systems where it may not be justified by Keizer's original thinking. However, we found long ago that the fluctuation theory worked down to the angstrom level and could give results in agreement with neutron scattering. Thus your extension may be valid for related reasons. I am glad to see that you do not find violations even at the mesoscopic level.

I have read your history of, and introduction to, canonical science and consulted Prof Keizer's book (SToNP). Congratulations on the success of your efforts to continue and extend Prof. Keizer's work.

It is nice to see that, indeed, you belong to those "rara avis" of deeply thinking physicists.

He leido tu artículo sobre la extensión de la termodinámica, y me parece muy interesante, la forma en que has extendido la "teoría canónica" a la mecánica cuántica, y la has conectado con la ecuación de Pauli.
Tu párrafo sobre la irreversibilidad también es interesante.
[...]
Tu trabajo da una visión muy interesante de la termodinámica, y creo que vale la pena que lo publiques. Tu presentación es clara, y bien escrita.
[...]
Tus puntos de vista me parecen muy interesantes. Te cuento que ayer hable con el Prof. Prigogine sobre tu libro. Le conte que una de tus ideas es que la química no es física aplicada, y el dijo: "Por supuesto que no!!", muy enfáticamente.
En general él pareció estar muy de acuerdo con tus ideas.

The manuscript you have submitted is very interesting and informative one.

The problem of interpretating of advanced solutions of wave equations arises as you note in your report. Indeed, they contradict the principle of retarded causality.

El Abstract es muy claro y interesante.

Los razonamientos de partida y las conclusiones me parecen interesantes y razonables.

La verdad es que me ha intrigado la posibilidad de generalizar el "dualismo electrodinámico".

I looked over with great interest your article "Has thermodynamics been violated?" at physchem/0309002.
[...]
I agree with you that "experimental demonstration of violation of the second law" is only in the title of the paper by Wang et al, PRL 2002, 89, 050601 since only systematic reduction of the total entropy contradicts to the second law.

Your paper looks good, and the main observation that the Stueckelberg et. al theory has the consistent Newton limit, and that it passes in other respects, sounds very reasonable to me.

Juan, in your posting on the chemweb preprint server you mentioned your manuscript "The fascinating kernel of chemistry" which obviously has not been posted on the server [finally posted as CPS:chemistry/0310001]. Your abstract on the article sounds interesting
I would appreciate receiving a copy.

I think the goal of this work [CanonML language] is really important. A universal format for a science paper or "datument" seems frustratingly difficult to accomplish.

Your design to cover everything in a markup language is ambitious.
Chemical Markup Language is aimed at supporting a core of conventional chemistry, much of it based on 19th century science. It is designed to be included in other markup language so insofar as CML supports useful chemistry in your context feel free to use it. I doubt that I am clever enough or have time to follow your ideas.

I was impressed by your reviews in amazon.com.
Bert Timmermans says:
I just read your review of TEU on amazon, and, despite the fact that my background in physics is limited (I dropped out after the first year at university), I agreed on a lot of aspects. For example, the feeling that I was getting one side of a story and that some stuff could have been explained better. My girlfriend was a string theorist, but dissatisfaction led her to abandon it. And after a while, physics altogether...
Trevor Andrade says:
I read your article on canonical science and I found it extremely interesting.

I have looked at the two syntaxes, and and I think that CanonML TeX-like is a clear winner.
